Let us be the first to welcome Brazil into the year 2000. The world’s gamers have been enjoying Sony’s PlayStation 2 since that year, but it is just now arriving in Brazil. Sure it’s been available to Brazilians by unofficial means, but not in any legit way.
If you live in Brazil, you can now enjoy last-generation’s game console champion for just 799 BRL, which translates to roughly $461 in US coin. We don’t see this flying off of Brazilian shelves. Do you?
Now instead of paying outrageous black market prices, they can pay Sony an outrageous price directly.

Dom’t worry. Everybody had PS2 since 2000 and for the last 3 years PS3. And everybody has pirate games that come from Paraguay and China. Sony will not make money with this old garbage there.
LOL this is ridiculous, more of wondrous business sense that is Sony, is it any wonder they are struggling.
It’s just ridiculous. You can buy it anywhere in Brasil for just R$400,00 (Brazilian Real), or USD 222. It’s not black market, many retail stores imports it to sell in Brazil, so its just legal. In the black market you can buy it por R$300,00 (USD 166).
Sony will get nowhere with this… If they keep with this, PS3 would be sold here for R$2400,00 (USD 1.300)… and you can buy it anywhare (retail stores or black market) for R$1.000,00 (USD555).
